Taipan's Game Is The Main Event For Rugger Enthusiasts Today

By "PAK LO”

The main event this afternoon is the Taipan's gume, which takes place each year between the Commander British Forcau XV, and XV representing a well- known Colony sportsman, and rugger enthusiast.

This year the honour has fallen to Bill Stoker, one of the most regular sup- porters of the Club rugger team, and a well known figure throughout the Colony.

This game will be held on the Club ground in Happy Valley at

Inter 4.15 p.m., and

in the evening the 1wo team and various rugger officials will be entertained to dinner by Mr Stoker in the Clubhouse.

WEEK-END SOFTBALL

TWO CRUCIAL SENIOR DIVISION GAMES TOMORROW AFTERNOON

Two crucial games in the Senior Divisions are scheduled for this week-end. In the Senior "A" League, Pennant holding Saints will tangle with the Chinese Athletic and in the Senior "B", Americans will battle the Blackhawks. Another good game will see the Warriors challenging the League-leading Pandas. Three Ladies' and one Junior match are also scheduled.

St Joseph's old timers suffered one loss lately but it did not affect their hope for retaining the Pennant for another year. They are still good in hitting though they seem to be short of practice, which fact was reflected in their erratic fielding during the game against Pandas.

Chinese Athleth are also hard-hitting bunch though they aro at a disadvantage in locking unst pitcher, Nevertheless their fielding work in superb, especialy in the centre field, and this may check the long range However, tring of the Saints. the Saints are still favoured to

When these two teams met earlier in the season the game ended in a draw. On paper the soldiers have a better balanced side and they are more consistent in their batting. With their bowlers in aggressive form they should come away with the points.
